Chapter 2869 Quinley Tall
The sea serpent hissed in agony, its eyes now filled with hints of fear. Jared seized the opportunity to
attack again. He swung his sword to battle the sea serpent. At the same time, the girl ran toward the
ice soul fragment while the snake was occupied. She grabbed the treasure and fled.
Seeing the girl succeed, Jared leaped back, planning to break away from the fight. He had no need to
waste his spiritual energy on the sea serpent. It’s sufficient that we get what we want. Killing this sea
serpent is unnecessary.
Unexpectedly, right after the girl acquired the ice soul fragment, three people suddenly appeared and
blocked her path. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The girl was taken aback. She clutched the ice soul fragment in her hands as a panicky look flitted
across her eyes.
Jared hadn’t anticipated an ambush there. He wanted to go over and help the girl, but the sea serpent

“D*mn it, you little beast. I was going to spare you, but you’re pushing your luck!” Jared cursed angrily
and swung his Dragonslayer Sword. Multiple beams of light shot out from the sword, heading toward
the sea serpent.
The sea serpent hissed, wanting to avoid the incoming attack, but it was too late. The lights penetrated
its body, slicing it into pieces in an instant, and a white beast core floated into the air. Jared reached out
to retrieve the beast core and put it away, then darted to the girl’s side.
The girl and the party of three that appeared out of nowhere stared at Jared in shock. They did not
expect him to slay the sea serpent at such astonishing speed.
“You’re just a cultivator at Second Level Body Fusion Realm, yet you effortlessly slaughtered that sea
serpent. It seems that you’re hiding your capabilities well,” remarked a tall, burly man with an eyepatch
covering his left eye.
“Who are you, and why are you stopping us? Have you been hiding here from the start?” Jared
questioned the trio in a frosty tone.
“That’s right. We’ve been here for a while now. Moreover, we’re the first to discover that ice soul
fragment,” that one-eyed man uttered.
“Since you’ve discovered it, why didn’t you retrieve the ice soul fragment? Don’t tell me three cultivators
at Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm like you couldn’t defeat the sea serpent guarding the treasure?”
Jared asked.
“Of course we could’ve taken the ice soul fragment, but we planned to use that ice soul fragment as
bait, and it works like a charm. We’ve successfully lured you here, haven’t we? Now, not only will we
take the ice soul fragment, but we will also take everything you possess. Hand us the items now!” the
one-eyed man sneered. “I’m afraid the three of you won’t be enough to stop us from leaving,” Jared
said calmly, not taking the three cultivators seriously.
“We can’t stop you?” The one-eyed man chuckled. He took out a formation plate from his pocket and
tossed it into the air.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe formation plate began to spin, emitting a dazzling glow. A light curtain descended, instantly
trapping Jared within. “You’ve even resorted to using a formation plate. That thing must be quite pricey,
huh?” Jared couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at the arcane array before him.
“Compared to the ice soul fragment, this formation plate is nothing!” That one- eyed man grinned as he
extended his hand to the girl. “Give me the ice soul fragment as well as all your belongings. Otherwise,
a violent death awaits you.”
The girl stared at the trio coldly. Now that Jared had been restrained by the arcane array, she knew she
couldn’t rely on him anymore, so she said to the three cultivators, “Aren’t you daredevils? Don’t you
know who I am? I assure you all will suffer horrible deaths for daring to harm me in the far north.”
“Hahaha! You’re the eldest daughter of the Tall family, Quinley Tall, aren’t you? Don’t think we’re
clueless, but I suggest you don’t overestimate your family’s influence too. Hand over the ice soul
fragment now, and I can consider sparing your life. If you dare to resist, I’ll kill you, but not before we
thoroughly enjoy ourselves first…” A lecherous look flashed past the one-eyed man’s eye.
